GOING: S(7)

FLEET PAINTING CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Eltrum, Treasure Hunter and Travelon Dory can set the pace. HARRY THE THIEF (1) resumes for his second campaign. Created a huge impression on debut when launched from last on the turn to salute over 1000m at Wyong on November 26. Fitted with the one 800m trial and look for him late. ELTRUM (5) showed good early speed over 1000m at this track on debut last start and went on to salute by 2.25 lengths. Can sneak into the finish again. TRAVELON DORY (6) speared to the front and never headed with a slick Maiden winner over 1000m at Canberra on a rain-affected track. No reason she can't repeat the effort. WOLF ISLAND (7) back in his right class and will go back from the draw and be ridden for luck. Snagged back from the outside gate and never got into the contest when tenth over 1300m at Canberra in C2 grade. Norton bit comes off and will be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harry The Thief can finish over there top of these.
